CMA CMA Space Harmony & Choreology 2

Question 1

The icosahedron is important in Laban's Space Harmony because it:

Accepted Answer

Provides the geometric framework for the kinesphere's spatial points

Answer

The icosahedron's 12 vertices map key spatial points within the kinesphere, forming the geometric basis for Laban's spatial scales.

Question 2

In Space Harmony, 'transversals' are movement paths that:

Accepted Answer

Follow the peripheral edge of the icosahedron

Answer

Transversals are spatial paths that cross obliquely through the kinesphere, connecting non-adjacent spatial zones along the faces of the icosahedron.

Question 3

The concept of 'spatial tension' in Space Harmony refers to:

Accepted Answer

The pull between two or more spatial directions simultaneously

Answer

Spatial tension is the dynamic pull felt when the body simultaneously orients toward or away from multiple spatial directions.

Question 4

The 'B-scale' in Space Harmony is often called the:

Accepted Answer

Inclination scale

Answer

The B-scale is called the Inclination scale because it passes through inclined or tilted spatial directions.

Question 5

What does 'central' spatial pathway mean in Space Harmony?

Accepted Answer

Movement that passes through or near the body's center

Answer

Central pathways move through or near the center of the body, often crossing the midline or passing close to the core.
